I love prosthetic effects, stop-motion animation and gore, but most of all I love a good story!
I adore B-movies and exploitation films in many of their guises and also have a soft spot for creature features.
I review a wide range of media including movies, TV series, books and videogames. I'm a massive fan of author Hunter S. Thompson and I enjoy various genre of videogames with Kingdom Hearts and Harvest Moon two of my all time favs. Currently playing: Silent Hill

Kung Fu Hustle – 13 year old me, on holiday in the Philippines, had never been fully immersed into the world of Asian film.
Going to the cinema with my cousins, we decided to go watch it with no preconceptions and the next 90 minutes were just an exhilarating whirlwind that took my breath away. I had never seen anything like it. I was finally introduced to the idiosyncrasy of Asian cinema and it blew my mind.
Have never looked back since.

My favourite Asian film was last years release ‘Dearest’. It deals with the really sensitive issue of child abduction in China. It is actually based on a real life case, about a divorced couple who search for 3 years to find their missing son, who was kidnapped by a migrant worker. It’s a fantastic film!
